SILICON WAFER
there are many reasons why we
prefer silicon rather than
germanium is
1. it is cheaper.
2. silicon is the form of silicon
dioxide which is available.
3. it cannot be triggered by small
noise voltages.
Why silicon is most used as semiconductor?
Silicon wafers properties
TYPES
Typical Sizes of silicon Wafers
1 inch or 25mm
2 inch or 50mm
3 inch or 75mm
4 inch or 100mm
5 inch or 125mm
6 inch or 150mm
8 inch or 200mm
12 inch or 300mm
How to distinguish
between silicon
wafer <100> and
<111>
Orientation/identification flats
Primary flat – The flat
of longest length
located in the
circumference of the
wafer. The primary flat
has a specific crystal
orientation relative to
the wafer surface;
major flat.
Secondary flat –
Indicates the crystal
orientation and doping
of the wafer.

Silicon Cleaning Process
RCA WAFER CLEAN
 Radio Cooperation America (RCA)
 Standard for removing contaminants from wafers
chemicals and supplies
Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
Ammonium Hydroxide
(NH4OH)
DI Water (H2O)
Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
RCA
Cleaning
procedure
has 3 major
steps
ORGANIC CLEAN
: remove silica and
silicon particles
from the wafer, as
well as remove
certain organic and
metal surface
contamination
OXIDE STRIP :
remove the native oxide
layer and any
contamination in the
oxide from the wafer
surface
IONIC CLEAN :
remove certain
ionic and metal
surface
contamination.

i
• Using hot plate.
ii
• Put container that containing solution ① with
thermometer on hot plate until temperature at 75◦C .
iii
• Put the wafer/samples into solution ① and make
sure the temperature does not go up more than 80◦C
PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
iv
• Let it for 10 minutes and then take away
wafer/samples and wash it with deionised
water.
v
• Then, put the wafer/samples into solution ②
for 10-20 seconds.
vi
• Take away the wafer/samples from solution
② and wash it with deionised water.
.
PROCEDURE
vii
• Put solution ③ onto hot plate until
temperature become 75◦C.
viii • Then put the samples into solution ③
that was heated for 10 minutes.
ix
• Take away and immerse the wafer/
samples into deionised water around
5 minutes.

Technical Notes
1- Don't touch
the silicon
surface by your
fingers. keep it
clean
2- Be very
carefully from
the HF acid and
should wearing
the safety
clothes
3- Don’t dip the
crocodile clamp
touch the
solution during
conducting the
experiment
4- connecte the
silicon sample
very well
5- always clean
the tungsten
wire using sand
paper.
Technical Notes
9-Before test the
silicon try to clean the
sample using DI Water
and dry the sample
using hair dryer
6-Don’t let the
crocodile clamp
terminals touch
each other during
the power supply
functioning
7- Increase the
voltage slowly to
avoid flowing high
current inside the
solution
8- Fix the time
properly to get
same results
